There is a TDD/FDD tradeoff—eventually most will deploy both
1 Assuming same transmit power . The main reason for reduced coverage is that the uplink device power is used part of the time for TDD but continuously for FDD . As an example, an 1:1 UL/DL allocation means a duty cycle of ~50% in the
uplink which contributes to a ~3dB reduced link budget

Many higher spectrum bands suited to LTE TDD and small cells
1 Some parts can be traditionally licensed, some parts need to be ASA licensed, such as ~3.5GHz in the US/EU1. 3GPP has already defined 3G/4G bands 42/43 for 3.4 GHz to 3.8 GHz,
3.5GHz in the US defined as 3550 – 3650 MHz. In addition, Wi-Fi in unlicensed such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz (802.11 ac) and 60GHz (802.11 ad).
